While WALL-E's storyline was typical, the film was pretty entertaining. Since I hadn't seen the last few Pixar films, I was really impressed with the realism of the graphics. Pixar seems to have developed a much more cinematic style in this film than in their earlier films. The way they render effects like lighting and camera movements almost cause one to believe that it was all shot on real 35mm film. The animation also appears very realistic, and the detail in the animation of the robots brings a lot of life into otherwise boring creatures. The sound design, particularly the voices of the robots, was well done, although the voices got annoying after a while.
If you find robots boring, rest assured that humans do appear in parts of the movie, so you will hear some real dialog, but I thought the engagement of the robot characters was enough to keep up the momentum through the first bits.
Lastly, as with most Pixar films, the humor is a little more sophisticated than in most children's movies. I have to give extra points to any film with a sense of humor for both children and adults.
WALL-E is definitely worth seeing.

The film seemed to be written just like a television episode would have, which is more proof that television does not translate to film very well. They would have probably done better to write it like a film screenplay, rather than an elongated television spot.
A friend of mine who is a big fan of the show thought the film was not nearly as cleverly written as any of the original television series, and referred to the film as "crap."

You know how there are a lot of godawful rock bands on the radio today that all sort of blend together? The kind that have little or no value to the progression of rock music? The other day I was subjected to a particularly mindless track that I recognized from hearing time and time again in various places. Out of curiosity, I waited until the end to hear who was responsible for this musical atrocity. Turns out the band's name was "Nickelback."
